Neither of those systems come with a compiler out of the box either. On MacOS, it takes less than 1.5 seconds to install lzip:
$ time brew install lzip
That assumes you have Brew installed, and that you were willing to have it to begin with. MacOS out of the box does understand xz format, which seems to be a plausible alternative, if you want a newer and more efficient compresssion. xz is also readily available on Windows. paul
